Rainbow Activities

Rainbow Activities

Rainbow events, where LGBTI+ policies to combat all discrimination ideologies based on gender identity and sexual orientation are shared with all segments of society and where bases for discourses are created, have been organized since 2006 by Kaos GL. The chain of events that have been held in 35 different cities to date has created an environment to discuss heterosexism sometimes by bringing academic discussions to universities through student communities, and sometimes by professional groups, local activists, women's organizations and other social movements. As a result, activities aimed at discussing and ensuring the visibility of discrimination against LGBTI people in Turkey can be said to have played an important role in strengthening local organizations since the first day.
